Being a travel writer, I love to write not only about cities and countries, but also about the people who live there. Through couch surfing, I learned how easy it is to get into contact with brilliant people who are able to tell stories about the place they live in. I thankfully use those stories in my writing.
On the other hand, you are most welcome for an introduction to my home town, Haarlem, in Holland. Please feel free to contact me for an free tour. Unfortunately I just don't have room for accommodation, but I may be of help finding you a couch somewhere else.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To find people who I can speak about the area they live in, and use their stories in my travel writing.
To introduce people who visit Haarlem, Holland, to my wonderful home town and show them all kind of secret spots around here.
